When to clean gutters in Comfort
The first fall frost comes around November 7 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 27 (median dates, NOAA normals). Booking the fall cleaning after the first frost, once the trees over the roof are bare, catches the season’s drop in one visit; the spring cleaning comes after the pollen and catkins are down.

Gutter and downspout size for Comfort rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Comfort the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.17 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 790 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,570, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook. Try your own roof in the gutter and downspout calculator, which starts from this figure.
The houses in Comfort
Half the homes in Comfort were built by 1992, 37% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Houses that age have often had their gutters replaced once already; if not, the original runs and the boards behind them deserve a close look.
75% of households own their home, and 56% of homes are detached houses, 1% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
